Hi all,
new to the forums and looking for a little help on a home wiring project. Basically I have 6 LED lights from Ikea that I am adding to a chandelier. The LED lights each have a adapter that supplies each with 4V, .75A and 3W. I am looking for a way to eliminate the need for 6 individual wall adapters and to reduce the overall wiring for both visual and efficiency purposes.
From what I've read and know about LEDs, the best way to combine them is in series which is easy enough. That should get me to a voltage of 4V x 6 = 24V with just the .75A needed. I guess this is also going under the assumption that what the wall adapters provides each light is the best voltage and current to supply them.
Hope this was enough to describe the situation and I'll of course provide any other info needed. Just trying to find the best way to do this using readily available parts. Thanks in advance!
